OK, so I have had hours of construction work destroyed by the uncaring, heartless, nearly slient, scourge of Minecraft: the creeper. I, for one, have had enough. People of the forums unite! I propose an invention that would be on par with sliced bread, if only there was sliced bread in Minecraft to be on par with!
Behold! The creeper detector. Two note blocks provide the audible warning when a creeper enters within a 3 block radius in any direction. Three blocks keeps it from being too powerful, but also enough time to react. Obviously the detector works by simply being in your inventory (so the penalty is a valueable inventory space is taken up) rather than having to hold the thing constantly.
I used an ender pearl in an effort to reduce the "too easy" claims. If you feel it will unbalance the game, then don't use it, but allow us whimps to have it. Look I even made the pattern into a "face"... aw!
Please support the technological advancement... it's - uh, - for the good of the children. Yes, yes. That's the ticket.
Feel free to make civil suggestions and any feedback to improve is welcome. Of course, critism is accepted also, but at least offer an alternative rather than just rip it. Thanks much!
